The Natural Capital Committee will focus on 3 key areas:

• advice on where, when and how natural assets are being used unsustainably
• advice on how government should prioritise action
• advice on research priorities to improve future advice.

The Committee’s remit provides more information on the areas which the Committee will focus on.

We expect that the Committee will work closely with academia, the third sector and business to ensure that it has the best possible evidence base for its advice.

This section contains information about the activities of the Committee, its meetings, events and publications.
